Feb 22nd sleevers!
Hey there my VSG twin. I hope you are doing well.
There are more of out there than we think. I work at Stanford Hospital and it was one of those rare days that I did not bring my lunch so i go to the cafeteria, full well knowing that this is going to be a challenge to find vsg approved type food. delighted to see that it taco salad day. I ask for 5 chips a little meat, some cheese and of course sour cream and guacamole. Now my portion size was about 1/4 the size of the normal person and yet I had to pay the same price.
I ask in line for a discount while trying to discreetly explain my wls sx and the lady on the other side also checking out pipes that she too has WLS. We both started to giggle and walked out discussing our sx types and wl. She was 7 yrs out from gastric and lost 130 lbs.
This later led me to email the manager asking for a discount on some of the meals for wls patient.

Yes! Twins!
When I buy salad bar from my hospital cafeteria, it usually costs under $2. One time nothing registered on the scale over the tare for the to-go container. Too funny! I do have them modify the set meals, but I hadn't thought of asking for a discount. I get close to normal serving sizes and just get 3 meals out of it.
You look amazing. Running more races?? I rode the Chily Hilly Bicycle Classic last Sunday...and then repeated the course today. 33 miles & 3000 feet of elevation gain. I feel so strong, and that makes me as happy as being normal weight does.
Take care!
